Town Classic finished in front of General Paddy when runner-up here in March but had earlier found I'm A G Six too good when the latter scored at over track and trip in the same month. Blue Sky Kowboy had decent form on Turf last year but returns from a lay-offf along with Optic Way and NAVY ARMED GUARD (NAP) is preferred. The latter wasn’t at his best on the Turf here last time but scored over track and trip in this grade before that and can return to winning ways back on this surface.
